This paper presents a framework of biomechanical modeling and evaluation method for impact and compression damages of human bodies caused by disasters. The final goal of this research is to provide high-precision cyber dummy for disaster mitigation by making use of the most advanced knowledge such as biomechanics and kinesiology. Anatomy geometric shape data (CAD data) are converted into FE model data by translating through the intermediate data. To obtain the intermediate data, remeshing and element generating are carried out using spline-curve-fitting technic and auto-meshing method. Finally, we get a right-half cyber dummy by connecting each region using shell, beam and joint elements.
